2025 Internet Use Survey Information Collection

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration seeks approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act to add 61 questions to the November 2025 edition of the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. This collection of questions is known as the NTIA Internet Use Survey and is also referred to as the CPS Computer and Internet Use Supplement. NTIA has sponsored seventeen such surveys since 1994. NTIA is working with Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, other federal agencies, state and local governments, industry, and nonprofits to develop and promote policies that foster ubiquitous deployment and effective use of high-speed Internet technologies. Collecting current, systematic, and comprehensive information on Internet use and non-use by U.S. households is critical to enabling policymakers to gauge progress made to date and identify specific areas of concern that permit carefully targeted and cost-effective responses.
